Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sliding/lifting roof for vehicles, especially motor vehicles, having a rigid cover for closing an opening in the roof and which is slidingly guided, in the area of its front edge at both longitudinal sides of the opening of the roof, by means of respective guiding members, each, in a longitudinal guide, being pivotable around a swivel axis extending transversely to the cover-sliding direction and being connected, in an area located at a distance in a rear direction from the front edge of said cover, via a tilt-out mechanism.
  • a drive member that is adjustable in the cover-sliding direction, enables the cover to, selectively, be either swung out of the roof opening by lifting its rear edge above the fixed roof surface, or slid, after lowering its rear edge, below a fixed rear roof surface, in which case the tilt-out mechanism has a link that is adjustable jointly with said drive member, and has a tilt-out lever that engages with said link, with said tilt-out lever being pivoted at said cover so that it rotates around a shaft fixed at said cover, and relative to said link being longitudinally movable and also swingable for a certain distance in the sliding direction of said cover.
  • the tilt-out lever at the end away from the cover, has a pin which is longitudinally slideable in a linear guide slot of the link and can be rotated freely in any position.
  • the link itself via a joint-parallelogram-type elevating device, is connected with a transport bridge forming the drive member, by means of which elevating device the cover, with its rear edge, can be changed from the lowered position into the closed position in order to then, if desired, be tilted out via the tilt-out lever by sliding of the link.
  • the known tilt-out mechanism consists of many parts.
  • the sliding/lifting roof provided with this tilt-out mechanism is subject to vibrations and rattling noises unless relatively expensive additional measures are taken.
  • the invention is based on the objective of creating a sliding/lifting roof of the initially-mentioned type that requires few component parts and guarantees an especially secure and stable guiding of the cover with a suppression of the tendency to vibrate and rattle.
  • this objective is achieved in that the link and the tilt-out lever, via an additional forcing guide, are connected with one another, with said forcing guide, at least in the range of the cover adjustment, between the closed position of the cover and the lowered rear edge of the cover, forcing said tilt-out lever for each position of the link with respect to the longitudinal guidance into a predetermined swivel position with respect to the link.
  • the tilt-out lever via an additional forcing guide, can be forced to carry out a swivel movement, with respect to the link, that takes along the rear edge of the cover into the lowered position.
  • the additional forcing guide in the displacement range corresponding to the closed position of the cover, preferably has an idle range, during the passage of which the swivel position of the tilt-out lever, with respect to the link, is kept constant irrespective of a longitudinal movement of the link.
  • an idle range neutralizes an inertia-caused after-running of the drive motor after the switch-off.
  • the additional forcing guide is advantageously formed by a link pin fastened at the link and engaging in a guide slot of the tilt-out lever, as well as by a cam that is mounted at the tilt-out lever, and can be moved along a cam path of the link. In this manner, a stable three-point connection is obtained between the link and the tilt-out lever in the various relative operational positions.
  • the cam is preferably elastic or is elastically mounted at the tilt-out lever in order to cause the relative movement between the tilt-out lever and the link to take place under a slight initial tension and, therefore, to be free from play.
  • the cam may especially be a roller made of an elastic material or having a layer made of an elastic material, with said roller being rotatably disposed at the tilt-out lever.
  • the link advantageously has a longitudinal slot in which a sliding piece is guided so that it can be slid in the sliding direction of the cover, and the tilt-out lever is linked to said sliding piece.
  • the link and the tilt-out lever may have interacting stop faces for limiting the swing-out movement of the tilt-out lever with respect to the link.
  • the link and the tilt-out lever may also, preferably, have complementary cylindrical contact surfaces for guiding the tilt-out lever during the tilting-out process. Thus, the occurring forces may be intercepted on a large area.
  • a stop is advantageously provided that goes along with the longitudinal movement of the cover, with said stop, during the tilting-out of the cover, resting against a counter-stop preventing a longitudinal movement of the cover.
  • the stop may be attached to a sealing bridge that can be longitudinally adjusted together with the cover, with said sealing bridge forming a water channel located below the rear edge of the cover and, in the closed position of the cover, being pressable from below against the bottom side of the cover or the fixed rear roof surface, as explained in detail in commonly assigned co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 483,176, U.S. Pat. No. 4,537,442, filed Apr. 8, 1983, which application is incorporated herein to the extent necessary for an understanding of this aspect.
  • the stop may, at the same time, be part of an adjusting mechanism for pushing the sealing bridge upward.
  • FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal cut through a sliding/lifting roof corresponding to Line A--A of FIG. 1, with the cover being in a closed position;
  • FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal cut corresponding to FIG. 2, with the rear edge of the cover being lowered;
  • FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal cut corresponding to FIG. 2, with the rear edge of the cover being tilted out;
  • FIG. 5 shows a partially exploded, perspective representation of the left and right side links and tilt-out levers, as well as the left side part of the transport bridge;
  • FIGS. 6-13 show the link and the tilt-out lever in various operational positions.
  • an opening 11 in the roof is provided in a fixed area 10 of the roof, in which case, said opening 11 may be closed by means of a rigid cover 12 and may be at least partially opened by shifting of the cover 12.
  • the roof opening 11 is encircled by a roof frame 13 which, along the front edge and at both sides of the opening in the roof, forms a rain gutter 14.
  • a respective slide rail 15 is attached that extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
  • the slide rails 15 and the other components of the sliding/lifting roof are arranged essentially in a mirror-imaged symmetrical manner with respect to a longitudinal axis of symmetry. Therefore, only the construction and the method of operation of the arrangement on one side are explained in detail in the following.
  • a front sliding block 16, a center sliding block 17 and a rear sliding block 18 run in the slide rail 15.
  • the sliding blocks 17, 18 are mounted to a guide piece 19, which itself is connected with a transport bridge 20 that extends crosswise of the roof opening so that guide piece 19 itself serves as a drive member for bridge 20 and other parts connected thereto.
  • the transport bridge 20, in the sliding direction of the cover (which corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle), can be displaced in any known way.
  • One or several threaded cables that are resistant to pressure may, for example, be provided for this purpose, with said cables being in driving connecting with a drive motor, preferably an electric motor, or a crank.
  • the tilt-out pin 30, the slider 21 and the longitudinal slot 32 form a first forcing guide, while an additional forcing guide is formed by the link pin 34 interacting with the guide slot 35 and the lowering roller 37 in conjunction with the cam path 36.
  • the two forcing guides provide a three-point engagement of the tilt-out lever 28 and the link 33, in which case, the arrangement is dimensioned in such a way that the components 28, 30, 31 and 33, between the operational positions of FIGS. 6-11 (i.e., when the cover is lowered, when the cover is closed, and at the start of the tilting-out process), are mutually slightly prestressed. This prestress is made possible by the elasticity of the lower roller 37, but may also be achieved by an elastic mounting of roller 37 to lever 28.
  • the cover 12 has reached its closed position (FIG. 2), where it is essentially flush with respect to the fixed area 10 of the roof.
  • the section 47 determines an idle range. During passage through this idle range, i.e., during the transition of the link 33 from the position according to FIG. 8 into the position according to FIG. 9, the swivel position of the tilt-out lever 28 is kept constant irrespective of the longitudinal movement of the link.
  • the tilt-out lever 28 has carried out a pure rotating movement around the axis of the tilt-out pin 30, i.e., the tilt-out pin 30 holds a fixed relative position with respect to the slide rail 15 during the relative movement of lever 28.
  • the link 33 via the transport bridge 20, is pushed further to the front, a cylindrical contact surface 59 of the link 33 will rest against a cylindrical contact surface 57 of the tilt-out lever 28 (surfaces 57 and 59 being shown most clearly in FIG. 9).
  • the lower end of the tilt-out lever 28 is taken along by the link 33 so that the axis of the tilt-out pin 30, with respect to the slide rail 15, moves further to the front.
  • the end of tilt-out lever 28 coupled to the angle member 27, thus, moves upward as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13.
  • the cover is tilted out according to FIG. 4.
  • the tilt-out lever 28 In proximity of an opening 51 receiving the tilt-out pin 30, the tilt-out lever 28 has a stop face 52 which, in the operating position according to FIG. 13, rests against a stop face 53 of the link 33 and thus limits the swing-out movement of the tilt-out lever 28 with respect to the link 33.
  • the stop face 52 With play, is shifted with respect to a surface 54 of the link 33, extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the slot 32. If, for example, in the case of an attempt to break in, the cover 12 is lifted by force and the link pin 34 is torn off, the stop face 52 will rest against the surface 54 so that a swinging-out of the cover is prevented. In this manner, the surfaces 52, 54 form an additional safety aspect.
  • the cylindrical contact surfaces 56, 57 of the tilt-out lever 28 interact with a cylindrical contact surface 58 or the contact surface 59 of a recess 60 of the link 33 receiving the projection 55 (see FIG. 9).
  • the contact surfaces 58, 59 also extend concentrically with respect to the axis of the tilt-out pin 30. In this manner, additional, large-surface bearing surfaces are obtained for the tilting-out movement of the tilt-out lever 28.
  • a holding-down device 62 is mounted at the underside of the cover 12, via an angle bracket 61, with said holding-down device 62, just like the sliding blocks 16, 17 and 18 running in the slide rail 15, while the cover 12 is moved between its fully pushed-back position that unblocks the opening 11 in the roof and a position shortly before reaching the position according to FIG. 3. This prevents an undesired swivel movement of the cover 12 in this sliding phase.
  • the holding-down device 62 will be located below a recess 63 in the upper web 64 of the slide rail 15.
  • the rising section 67 of the cam path 66 slides under the stop 69 so that the stop 69 is moved upward.
  • the sealing bridge 24 is swung upward around a joint 71 connecting the bracket arm 23 with the arm 72 of the sliding block carrier 21 (FIG. 1).
  • the sealing bridge 24 by means of the interaction of the stop 69 with section 68 of the cam path 66, is pressed upward so that penetration of water into the inside of the vehicle is safely avoided. Water that is caught by the water groove 25 of the sealing bridge 24 is drained off to the side in a manner that is not described in detail.
  • the described arrangement guarantees that a longitudinal movement of the cover 12 in all positions of the cover, with the exception of the fully lowered position (FIG. 3) is impossible, and that, during the sliding of the lowered cover, there is no vertical movement (vertical swivel) of the cover.
  • the mechanism in the range of the closed position of the cover, is tight and without play.
  • An inertia-caused running-after of a drive motor after the switch-off in the range of the closed position of the cover is neutralized.
  • a certain position of the tilt-out lever is clearly assigned to each position of the link.
  • the swivel shaft of the cover is held stationary with respect to the vehicle.
  • a longitudinal movement of the cover is with the use of the greatest force neither possible in the case of the partly tilted-out, nor in the case of the fully tilted-out cover.
  • the tilt-out lever and the cover always carry out a pure rotating movement with respect to one another.
  • the tilt-out lever is also, with respect to the link, caused to only carry out a pure rotating movement, in the course of which there is surface contact between the link and the tilt-out lever.
